That always happens with me too. I have 3 WM's near me, and there's always at least one that gets the exclusives and at least one that doesn't. Usually it's a 2:1 ratio with 2 of the 3 getting the exclusives. I think the A-Wing and the Max Rebo band sets were the only exclusives that none of the stores ever received. 2007 was weird for exclusive distribution.

Even though I now have x2 AT-ATs, x2 SS, x2 CC and all of the Vintage line already in hand I will now have to make some runs on 8/1 to Wal-Mart to pick this bad boy up. I will be buying 2 for sure. Like Scott this was the best surprise thus far!

I really don't expect this thing to hit on 08/01 especially since it's WM, but I want this now! ROTJ was the first SW flick I saw (in theatre) and I always loved this fat bastard. Glad he finally got a much needed upgrade after all these years. Hope to see him soon!

I agree, this vintage packaging stuff looks amazing. I hope we see it continue, at least for the life of "The Vintage Collection" if nothing else. I'm wondering if we won't see another round of exclusive "repackages" next year, if this year's crop does well.
